Dealer Reputable Dealer

Rhett, you should read the entire thread.

The argument is about the markup on the machines and that reconditioning a good running imported yanmar tractor with fresh paint etc pushes the prices to high in my opinion and rivals US branded (10 yr old deere - kubota) on price.

2610D isn't a $5200 tractor, more like 4,000 range tractor and the koyker loader isn't $3700, making it to me a $7,000 tractor as I stated.


The way things are going, Yanmar is so main stream now, the other grey market brands (Iseki, Hinomoto, Mitsubishi, etc) are the true grey market deals now.

If everyone on here was to be honest we ALL bought a yanmar because we needed a good reliable cheap tractor (cheap as in price not quality) without breaking the bank on buying a US branded machine, now that is gone.

I used to pay a nickel for a candy bar and a dime for a comic book, and that's all they are worth. Maybe S. Carolina is different, but in the rest of the world things are priced based on what people are willing to pay.

Not to overstate the obvious, but unless my college training in business is wrong, prices are dictated by what the market will bear i.e. what one is willing to pay. Markup is irrelevant.

Gosh, maybe I have been giving them away all these years.

Time to raise prices?:confused2:

 

[Smoody]

it doesn't take a college degree in business to understand that logic, even though I have 2

So why are all you willing to pay those prices when you can buy new or newer used US brands? answer that one, either uninformed or there are some really good salesman on this site....which its apparent they are.

Smoody, every once in a while a knowitall shoot from the lip kinda guy comes around, and manages to insult almost everyone here.

Soon they wonder why no one answers their questions.

I believe you have reached that point.

You are the first to make my TBN ignore list

I didnt just come along. I been around awhile. I sure never claimed to be a "knowitall" that would be the yanmar dealers these days who can't ever be wrong.

You know what they say "truth hurts", I don't ignore anyone and try to help people on here, opinions are free. You have yours and I have mine. if I can ever help you in a post I will, so grow up.

Can you tell me how i insulted anyone?
